I loved that show I always wanted one of those pens.

Picture pages picture pages now it's time for picture pages...

Classic!

classic bill all the way plus he draws up some good pictures

Whenever I watch the Cosby show I would sit and swear that Bill Cosby had some goofy drawing show, but whenever I talked to my family of friends about they acted like I was nuts. When I looked up Pinwheel recently I saw Picture Pages and realized that I wasn\'t crazy, at least not in that area. I did remember that it was separate from Pinwheel or at least I remembered it being on with the commercials, this is so cool!

does anyone remember a show called balobajott? he was a little clay worm...and i\'m wondering if he was a part of picture pages?? he liked to write or something...

Yeah, that\'s not the song i remember either fam lol

my wife and i were just talking about this show, i love how the pen made a noise when it was used, i wanted those books so badly!!!

I never even heard that song before. was it changed?

It would\'ve been better if Bill sang the opening song.

How can we upload that version of the intro? I don\'t even remember hearing the one up above before...

Yea! That\'s not the one I heard either. It was the faster one on you tube. I wanted that squeaky pen soo bad!

I\'m gonna cry too. This was such a sweet little show. Helped my little bro learn too!

Thank you so much markuspea. I figured I didn\'t remember the lyric exactly, but I was pretty close. Let\'s hear it for good long-term memories.
Oh, and sorry to hear about that disappointment of yours.

Where can i get one of those sound effect markers.

the little marker that went \"doo doo doo\" really fast when he drew.... oh, i\'m gonna cry!

Yeah, in addition to a different theme I also remember them only as being short segments during commercial breaks as opposed to full-length shows, Pinwheel. You\'re not alone there. And presuming the years are correct for the reairings I\'m amazed that I actually remember this at all because I was only 5 when the 80s ended.

Theme lyrics I remember (approx):
PicturePage, PicturePage
It\'s time to get your PicturePage
It\'s time to get your crayons and your pencils
PicturePage, PicturePage
It\'s time to get your PicturePage
It\'s time to play with Bill Cosby and a PicturePage like you
[It had a similar melody to the one on here, but it was faster. And I\'m sure I misunderstood that last part.]

This scares me.....

Was that \'intro\' off the VHS releases of PicturePages? That might explain it. I remember they put them out around 1989-90...

actually, pinwheel the air date is 1984 and earlier. you caught the reairings.

This is not the Picture Pages that I remember. Those are the same drawings but the singing is different. I don\'t even recall an actual show...more like 5-10 segments that came on during commercial breaks. Also the airdate for this particular opening shown here is incorrect. It should say 1987, not 1984.

I swear there was a picture page cartoon before 1984.

Wow! Boring!

Hmm...not the one I remember...there\'s gotta be another one out there. Thanks for adding it though!
